Level with me, guys.

The best way to plan your next sentimental holiday, whether for your wife, sister, mother, etc., is to plan ahead. Well ahead.

I do most of my Valentine’s Day shopping on the 13th on February and my Christmas shopping on the 21st of December. Get the drift?

I don’t, but maybe GiftBaskets.com will help next time.

It’s not too early to start thinking about Mother’s Day. GiftBaskets.com is the perfect place to find any number of assorted items the leading ladies in your life will enjoy on the day specifically devoted to mothers.

Gift ideas include:

* The Berry Elegance Box, starting as low as $32.99. This includes an assortment of strawberries in various counts – either six, nine, 12 or 24 – and the package can be delivered either overnight or in advance.

* Mrs. Beasley’s Truffle Cookies Gift Basket, starting at $32.99. It contains a dozen Ghirardelli chocolate truffle cookies. That’s one of the preferred brands in our house.

* The Spa Essential Gift Basket for as low as $64.99. Bubble baths and a wooden massager are included among many other bath and spa needs.

Don’t feel you must limit your GiftBaskets.com shopping to Mother’s Day. A plethora of options are available at the site, including pages devoted to particular holidays and “for him” and “for her” pages.

Remember, just as the day after Thanksgiving is the official start of the Christmas shopping season, make it a rule of thumb that the day after Easter is a good time to start planning Mother’s Day. And this is a good year to start.

Most years, you won’t get this much time.
